[Strawbale] non-toxic insulation for roof and attic

[Monica Marsicek]

Hi Ellis,

There are two I can think of offhand, blue jean insulation
<http://www.bondedlogic.com> and spray foam insulation
<http://www.biobased.net/>.  The spray foam may be best for your
application, but I'd check them both out.

Best of luck,
